European comedy, possibly French; husbands run away from home.

searching

Two henpecked husbands decide that family life is having too negative an impact on their otherwise relaxed and carefree lifestyle, so decide between them to both fake their own death/disappearances, run away together and devote their lives to enjoying the finer things in life - the countryside, good food etc. It all comes crashing down when one or both of them decide to appear on a television game show and is spotted by someone who had believed them to be dead.

It was shown on Channel 4 in the UK, in one of those late night/early morning slots maybe 20yrs ago, but CGPT had no idea, and having emailed Channel 4 was lucky enough to receive a polite notification that they had no idea either.
